Found amongst the northern vineyards of Beaune, this excellent site overlooks the medieval fortified town of Beaune, that remains to this day the wine capital of Burgundy. Burgundy vineyards named Les Grèves generally designate soils formed of loose rock, fine scree, sand and gravel which are particularly favourable to the cultivation of vines. Our vineyards are located on the gentle slopes of the hill of Beaune next the vineyard of Les Teurons. The clay and limestone soils of Les Grèves suit the Chardonnay grape and contribute to making this wine one of the fullest and richest of the Beaune appellations.

Tasting Note

This wine is of a yellow colour with light green reflections. Our Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves has a complex nose with smoky aromas of toasted bread, honey and quince. It is ample and long in the mouth, exhibiting toasted notes.

A nice big aromatic, some oak hints but really plenty of opulent (in a
good way) and interesting aromas. Big, silky, I would again say opulent,
weighted fruit flavours. Lots of finishing vivacity, indeed minerality,
but from the start to the middle I'd really like a little more energy
to carry the wine. Bill Nanson (UK)
